After too much tests to find the corect turns, I made the final test.
I started to rotate the branch with none gold coin in sight, and there was no signal from the PD.
Then I put a gold coin in 10 m distance and I noticed that after 3-4 minutes the PD started to give signal. Then I took the coin away, and after 1 minute the PD stoped to give signal.Then I placed the coin in the same distance but in 90 degrees angle from the first place. The same result, after 3-4 minutes the PD started to give signal from the new position.
Then I put another coin in the starting position and the PD gave signal to both positions.
During the test the controls and the motor turns , were steady.
I also noticed that with the coins on the ground for enough time, and the PD turned of, when I turned it on, it gave signal again after 3-4 minutes.

Hi Drakos,
I have been watching this magic PD thread for awhile and I saw Geo's video and your photo of the tripod and swivel motor you rigged.
Both you and Geo did a lot of work to build your PDs and to make tests. And the results you got so far are inconclusive.
I look at the tests you did, and I see Geo made his test inside a garage that has mains power and metal inside, not the same condition that you find when you are treasure hunting.
Also, I see your tripod is located in a yard that has a building in the background with electric power, and metal buckets and other things that we don't find when we are hunting for treasure.
I understand that this could be a good place to start for testing before making the final field tests.
But it seems strange that we always hear the same reports from Greece that there are mixed results and no conclusive reports of detection that can be repeated.
It makes me wonder if the reason why we hear these poor reports is because the only tests that have been done are flawed tests that have interference from metal things and power lines.
I don't think it is wrong to make some tests in a garage or next to a building, but I would think it is a good idea to also make some tests in a field away from power lines and other metal things....
same as you find when you are hunting for treasure.
And same as Morgan did when he was calibrating his PD.
When we hunt for treasure, we don't look for the treasure in the garage or behind the house, we look in the fields where people carried treasures away many centuries ago.
And this is the place where we would want to know how the treasure locator performs.
Don't you think it is possible you would find different test results if you were to perform the same tests away from buildings and metal things?
Best wishes,
